More American Soldiers Die In Vietnam
Oh Nixon what did you do,
Woe will drown and plague you,
Sending more soldiers into Vietnam
Where you know there is no calm,
Only war, killing and death,
The fueling of Americans sent to
Fight in this pathetic war,
Would no longer be tolerated,
The public were angry and irritated.
Two reporters wanted
To expose Nixon’s treasonable ways,
As a President, his days
Numbered, he knew Vietnam was losing,
But continued sending fated young men
In scores of ten,
To this ungodly war,
Kept feeding the newspapers with lies
As a youth sent to Vietnam,
Is tortured and dies.
Reporters,
Plotted and attained highly secretive
Documents, hurting Nixon to his core,
But they were kept in a safe secret store.
These tale tale documents revealed
That the Vietnam war amounted to ‘zilch’
Nixon’s unacceptable involvement
Did not move an inch,
He didn’t care that youths were dying
Nixon did not even flinch.
The public became aware
How could the President dare?
All was revealed by a
Well-known source,
Then history took its course,
Nixon resigned, was granted a full Pardon
By Vice President Ford, Nixon's evil stardom
Dissolved, as he left the White House
In disgrace,
In front of America and the whole
Human race,
The Watergate scandal would be known,
But the truth still had to be told,
And freedom of speech, again to unfold!
